COMMUNITY & STUDENT RANGER OBJECTIVES:
GENERAL STRATEGY

Stewardship of Mill Creek is not only dependent upon adjacent landowners, but also those who live and work in the communities of Puslinch, North Dumfries and City of Cambridge. Stewardship begins with the sharing of information, and seeking broad consensus for public preservation and rehabilitation of this valued local resource.
